MarksA-C 93 Posted January 13, 2008 lol, kinda. Not night vision...but that might be a later project pi:D I home-made the bracket/rod and bought the lights and such at Walmart! Electric start is finally done too! For the wiring I have a fuse holder and a box of 15 (Style) fuses. For the wire I got some heavier gauge wire that is double the size of the light wire so I can run a single wire. (This should work right?) I did solder the stuff so far but my soldering skills aren't so good...so it bulging and such should cause the wire to short right? (New Stuff) ITs all done! A lot brighter than I thought! I don't know if I'm gunna sell it now! I like it too much... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tec2484 1 Posted January 13, 2008 If you tape up you solder joints good it shouldn't short out. I like the way the lights look on the little thing too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mooseman3210 0 Posted January 13, 2008 looks good mark can't wait to get started on our 707 to restore . but i think it will be a while before i have to worry about the lights . nice look i like the way the lights stick out . mooseman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshuaareed 0 Posted January 13, 2008 Looking good Mark, make sure you put the fuse holder within 6 inched of your power source. You don't have to have a neat solder joint to be a good one. If your wires don't pull apart than it is probably a good solder joint. I do a lot of wiring for work( light bars, sirens and two way radios, as well as repairing electronics) so if you need any help be sure to e-mail me or PM me. Looks like you are doing a fine job. I really like the way those lights look on your 707. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willy 2 Posted January 13, 2008 Looks Good Mark. Don't over heat your solder joint and you'll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarksA-C 93 Posted January 13, 2008 I did a test to make sure there aren't any shorts... I left it on for 15min and came back and checked the wires with my dads fancy thermometer. No problems at all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RipRat 0 Posted January 14, 2008 heat shrink tubing over the solder joints works well to. You can get the heat shrink at Radio Shack. Put it on the wire first the solder the joint then slide it over the joint and heat it with a heat gun to melt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarksA-C 93 Posted January 14, 2008 Just so people know, I made the light bar to specs of the original. Now that the 707 is running now (Carb full of crud) I can't wait to throw a plow on it and have fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshuaareed 0 Posted January 14, 2008 That looks cool Mark, it looks like a happy face now. Nice job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SimpleTom 4 Posted January 14, 2008 Looks good Mark! I'm glad those measurements I gave you helped you make that light bar. It looks just like mine now. I may have to go to Wal Mart myself and buy a set of those lights for one of my other project tractors. Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
